Welcome to the club. The color does attract attention of nearly every law enforcement agency I've come across.
We've even had troopers pull u-turns through the median grass to chase us down on the Taconic while going pretty close to the speed limit.
This was a bit too close for comfort - still though, I was able to snap the picture prior to having an uncomfortable conversation.

Congrats, I just got my new 06 C2S too....guards red, even the same sport design wheels but mine are silver. I need to upgrade to the colored wheel crest, they look great on your car.
Are you going to tint the windows? I cant decide, and Im a little paranoid of getting the interior damaged if I use someone other than the expensive dealer.

I have been searching for mods, but even tinting the windows seems like a hustle because they have to remove parts and put them back on, which I don't prefer. Besides, how can you improve perfection
But everything changes in Alex's situation! His project car, Sharkwerks in green, is the best and my favorite car around for a long time! This project have been completed with such taste, style and knowledge, and I have reading about it for some time, I think he is easily my favorite when it comes to modding Porsches. I'm sure the time will come when I will have to give him a call The colored wheel crest was also done at the shop, didn't need to buy an aftermarket or order from the factory, you can easily have it painted in black, all they have to do is to mask it properly and have a great black color mix ready. I also have the bolts painted too, they seems to be silver in Porsches custom line, but I think it is more 'me' this way
Good luck on your beautiful C2S Matt!

Hey, i am pretty sure I saw that lambo in the city this past winter! You could hear its song from about 3 blocks away. Sounded really nice reverberating off the buildings. We only caught a glimpse of it
Anyway, welcome to the board!

JohnM, for a car that is naturally aspirated and with a Tubi output, that thing is pretty loud, sounds almost like an F1 car through the city streets. I was staying in Downtown, and everytime I was pulling in to the garage, it felt like such an event.
I was upstate around Lake Mahopac, a cop pulled right next to me, almost on the pavement, I rolled down my window, he told me 'You wanna go?' And I laughed so hard, he was such a cool guy, and told me I was gonna cause an accident because everyone was staring at it
And I also met this guy Eric, from Eastchester PD, I was right in front of Banana Republic in Bronxville, and he came over and we've talked, took a photo of him with the car, and sent it to him later on. He was cool, and before he stepped in and assumed the position, he said he didn't want his holster to scratch the seats
There are pretty nice people out there to meet and have a quick chat, I guess its all about how you approach to them, so they won't feel threatened or bullied by you or your car.
Thank you for the warm welcome JohnM!
